In other words, THANKS

I don’t know about you, but when my schedule gets most hectic, I tend to focus more on appreciation. So, today I appreciate:

…BK Boreyko, for truly having our best interests at heart.

…The Hubz, for his ever-expanding visions.

…Grant & Carrie Peelle, for the reassurance that there actually ARE crazy people out there that think like we do.

…James Hernandez, for being so darn positive.

…Jamie Verkamp, for inspiring me to be a better and better friend.

…niece or nephew #5, for taking a stand and taking its time.

You? Call them out.

May Link Round-Up

Wha? This here website thing is a blog? That I’m supposed to update on a regular basis? NO WAY YA’LL.

I thought I’d break my things-have-been-insane-around-the-Sorensen-compound-but-that’s-no-excuse blog silence by sharing a few things I’ve loved lately. I hope you find some benefit from them, too.

TokBox TokBox is a free video conferencing service. And it’s not only free but can be up and running within a matter of seconds. LOVE IT. I thought I’d use it only for video conferences, but have found even more uses for video messages. Why type up a long, drawn-out response to an email when I can just press record and chat away?

Betty White on SNL A fun example of what can happen when traditional media pays attention to social movements. Mashable.com has a great article with almost all of the YouTube clips – ridiculously entertaining stuff if you have a free minute!

Chris Brogan: My Worry Reduction Buttons One of the best write-ups on affiliate marketing I’ve ever read. No more comments needed.

DailyBooth If you haven’t yet checked out DailyBooth, put it on your to-do list NOW. I have made my most beneficial (and most fun) networking connections with the DailyBooth platform than with any other social network. Seriously.

ProBlogger: How I Make Money Blogging I thought this post from Darren Rowse, aka. The Problogger, was fascinating, and I think you’ll agree. No matter how pro of a blogger you might consider yourself to be, the information and insight Darren shares is well worth the read.

What fun things have you run into lately? Do share.

When I grow up…

…I want to be like Chris Brogan, because he creates quality content regularly and consistently, and never complains about it.

…I want to be like Jillian Michaels, because she has been nothing but true to herself and now inspires millions.

…I want to be like Gary Vaynerchuk, because he cares. Period.

…I want to be like Jon Wheatley, because he launched a start-up and is having an absolute blast with it.

…I want to be like Malcolm Gladwell, because he produced media that changed our outlook on the world, one thought at a time.

Who do you want to be?

Thoughts about 2010

1. I’m gonna rock Twitter’s face off.

2. I’m gonna take even more advantage of the amazing, personalized networking that takes place on DailyBooth.

3. I’m gonna launch 3 new websites & 1 web tv show.

4. It’s gonna be amazing.

More where those came from. What’s on your radar for two-oh-one-oh?
